FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
WILDPACKETS RELEASES ETHERPEEK(TM) FOR MAC OS X VERSION 4.1 FEATURES AQUA
INTERFACE, EXPANDED DECODERS, UPDATED PLUG-INS
Walnut Creek, California -February 28, 2002 WildPackets Inc., developers of
a complete family of affordable, accessible network management tools, today
released a Mac OS X version of their industry-leading EtherPeek LAN
analyzer. The new 4.1 version takes full advantage of the Aqua interface
and adds new decoders and updated plug-ins to an existing robust feature
set.
"Our roots are as Macintosh software developers," states CEO Mahboud
Zabetian, "All of our current Windows-based "Peek" products, including
EtherPeek for Windows(TM), AiroPeek(TM), and our new real-time Expert
tools, EtherPeek NX(TM) and AiroPeek NX(TM), owe their existence to the
success we initially had selling software tools for the Mac platform. Our
ability to adopt and finesse Apple's elegant UI and fluid programmatic
conventions has allowed us to present complex network data in an
approachable, graphical format."
While the market for Macintosh-based network management tools is smaller
than that for Windows-based products, WildPackets will continue to respond
to Macintosh enthusiasts with EtherPeek product enhancements and training.
Two new web-delivered courses, designed to save Mac networking
professionals both time and travel, are currently open for registration.
Information on WP-101M and WP-105 classes, the training schedule, and a
registration form can be found at www.wildpacketsacademy.com.
